Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 332 Players named by Chen Ran

Sure enough, those European and American reporters were forgetful.

They only saw that Chen Ran had taken advantage, but they had already forgotten what Chen Ran had experienced in the first round.

At least from the analysis of all the high-ranking seed players, only Chen Ran encountered such a severe challenge in the first round.

If his luck had been worse and he had lost to Safin, Chen Ran could already imagine the other faces of these European and American reporters.

Look, I just said it!

The youngest number one at the end of the year is very impressive.

He didn’t even pass the first round!

As a result, after Chen Ran defeated Safin in a hard battle, the group turned around and forgot about it, as if nothing had happened.

In desperation, Chen Ran had to remind him again.

He wants to tell the world at all times what happened to him, the No. 1 seed, in the first round.

Of course, the more miserable one here is the Russian Safin.

This group of reporters only stared at Chen Ran and had forgotten what happened to the former world number one.

After recovering from the injury for a year, he vowed to make a comeback, but in the first round he met the world's number one Chen Ran.

Safin is the one who should complain the most.

"Everyone, do you have any other questions?" Chen Ran looked around at everyone.

He felt that the chair was hot and wanted to get out immediately.

Soon, a reporter from Serbia, or Serbia and Montenegro to be exact, asked a question.

"Hello, Chen Ran!"

"you say……"

"You should know Seles, you once mentioned her during the US Open. Although she is Hungarian, she is Serb."

"Well, of course I know her, and I feel very sorry for her." Chen Ran said very naturally, "There is no doubt that she is the number one woman in the world in my mind."

The reporter from Serbia and Montenegro nodded and continued: "When you played against Andre Agassi at the US Open, it seemed that a fan had ill intentions towards you and almost repeated the scene with Seles."

"Yes, I still feel a little scared when I think about it now." Chen Ran pretended to be moved.

That being said, he actually knew better than anyone that the bald fan was far from posing a threat to him.

First of all, Chen Ran's skills, both in terms of agility and reaction ability, are much better than Seles.

What's more, with Seles's experience, Chen Ran can be more careful, and the tennis racket and even the tennis ball in his hand can become his weapon at critical moments.

However, you have to do misfortune when you have to do it. There is no need to pretend to be generous, or even repay evil with kindness. Chen Ran has never done this.

"Then do you think security measures will continue to be increased at tennis matches?"

"Yes, of course!" Chen Ran said very firmly, "There are too many perversions in this world, and no one knows when they will go crazy next time?"

"By the way, my opponent in the next game will be Hewitt, right?"

"Hewitt is a very good player and I'm looking forward to playing against him."

"But... he is playing at home, so I hope the Australian Open organizing committee can increase security by then."

He took this opportunity to mention it in passing.

The look in the Australian reporter's eyes just now was still fresh in Chen Ran's memory, and the words of the Serbian and Montenegro reporter also woke him up.

"One more question... Are there currently any Serbian and Montenegrin tennis players that impress you?"

After Chen Ran pondered for a moment, he smiled calmly: "When I participated in an event organized by the French Open last year, I met a young Serbian and Montenegrin guy. He is one year younger than me. His name seems to be Djokovic, right?"

"I believe he will become an important player in men's professional tennis in the future, and even become a representative figure." This player's name may not be familiar to most reporters from other countries except this reporter from Serbia and Montenegro.

However, because of Chen Ran, they still took note of the name carefully.

"I know him!"

The reporter from Serbia and Montenegro shook his fist excitedly: "He also participated in the youth group of the Australian Open this time, and has already reached the semi-finals!"

Some Chinese reporters showed disapproval.

Only the top four in the youth group. Is this an achievement to be proud of?

In the same year, Chen Ran had already reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open adult group.

Of course, being able to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam youth group at this age is enough to show that although Djokovic's strength is not among the top among his age, it can still be regarded as first-rate.

What others don't know is that Chen Ran is also quietly observing Djokovic's movements.

Today's Xiaodui is still involved in low-level challenge matches, which can even be described as suffering.

He played in the youth competition and achieved outstanding results, but once he reached the adult stage, it felt very difficult.

However, many professional players do encounter a bottleneck period during the transition between youth games and professional games, but once they break through, they have skyrocketed since then.

After answering this question, Chen Ran left the press conference room.

……

Soon after, Djokovic's name was reported by countless reporters.

A player who has never played in a tour, and has not even shown enough dominance on the Challenger stage, was treated like this.

This is a young talent with such potential that Chen Ran, now a two-time Grand Slam winner and world No. 1, is so optimistic.

This is unbelievable.

Soon, Djokovic's name came into the sight of thousands of fans.

Many people also began to inquire about this name out of curiosity.

Especially in China, Xiao De can be said to have become famous overnight.

Not only did many Chinese media rush to report on it, but fans also started heated discussions.

There are even many Chinese businessmen who want to invite him to the platform or attend business activities. Such a huge effect has amazed many people.

This shows that Chen Ran has great popularity and influence in China.

However, Xiaode is now completely confused about all this.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ran still remembered him during that event at the French Open. Djokovic thought that given his opponent's status, he had completely forgotten about him.

"I have always wanted to be famous, but I never thought of it in this way!" Djokovic thought helplessly.

The main blame lies with the Serbian and Black reporter. If he didn't mention it, Chen Ran wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it.

……

When many people asked who "Djokovic" is, the first semi-final of the Australian Open began.

Chen Ran versus Hewitt.

This scene seems to be exactly the same as during the US Open. It is still the center court, still facing the host players, still facing the deafening boos of the fans in the audience.

But Chen Ran is also used to playing "away games around the world"!
